A house-warming gift of 6 laying hens became a full-time labour of love. Our happy hens are pasture-ranged and eat a grass-fed and all-natural diet-- what they want, how much they want, and when they want. We expanded to well over 250 laying hens, using several heritage breeds, including Brown Leghorns, Barred Rocks, NH & Rhode Island Reds, Buckeyes and Partridge Chantecleers. (But none of our birds go into the stew pot--!!) Our eggs have been served at The Balsams Grand Resort Hotel.
Our wool sheep are an eclectic mix of wool breeds--(some rescued from the sales in NJ after life as bottled-fed babies at a Long Island petting zoo.) They all know their names, and come running when we enter the pasture gate. Keeping a watchful eye over the whole crew is our Great Pyrenees livestock guard dogs. Those sheep enjoy a peaceful life now, no longer actively breeding, just grazing and munching on fresh produce as it becomes available...and being sheared once a year. Their wool is hand-sheared, hand-washed, hand-carded and hand-spun right at the farm. Our Icelandic flock is in it's beginning stages-- chocolate, white, and cream colours so far.
We have joined North Country Farm Fresh Co-op of Colebrook, and the Small and Beginner Farmers of NH. We participate in local Farmers' Markets, and promote the sustainable, eat-local eat-healthy movement. We are a family-run business that sells fresh eggs, hand-spun wool yarns, and baked goods, as well as fruits and vegetables in season, and will soon be offering simple woodwork signs and camp items produced in our on-farm shop.
We received a grant from USDA-NRCS for a Seasonal High Tunnel, so watch for four-season veggies!
